I have the kit installed. The hood is junk, you will have to take your your strut tower brace out to have it fit properly, and it still wont mate up properly. My honest opionion is to leave the stock hood on (which i have done). My hood came cracked, which the body shop fixed. The fitment of the other compenents is pretty good, you dont have to remove the front bumper, A++. However rear bumper does need to be removed. Side skirts need alot of tweeking to get them to mount flush to the side's.
Overall the GT2 kit is a good kit for the money.

you dont have to remove any peices other then the stock front nose piece to install the front nose piece. The rear piece you have to remove the rear bumper. which is not street legal, owell.

OKay, the nose or rear end is your not your bumber. the bumper is behind them. Which is made of metal, that has to be their for crashes. Other wise you would just be protected by pastic/fiberglass.
So the part that you see that is painted is not your bumper. the bumper is behind it.
On the gt2 kit you dont have to remove the metal bumper on the front. But on the rear end you do in order to install the rear piece included in the gt2 kit.
Hope that helps.

awesome. i'm ordering the kit either tonight or tomorrow. just needed to know about how hard it was to install the whole kit. about how long did it take you/the body shop to do the install? also, would you reccomend doing it yourself, or paying to have it put on?
